HR 2498 United States House · 119th Congress

End Dark Money Act

HR 2498, the "End Dark Money Act," repeals a restriction in the 2024 federal appropriations law that prevented the IRS from using funds to increase transparency around political activities by certain nonprofit organizations during fiscal year 2025. This procedural bill removes a specific funding limitation, allowing the IRS to potentially use its budget for oversight of nonprofits engaged in political spending. It does not create new transparency requirements but enables existing IRS oversight capabilities. The bill directly affects how the IRS administers its budget for nonprofit oversight, not the nonprofits themselves. (1 sentence summary as it is procedural)
